I am so ready for Christmas vacation...

I must be getting tired.  I just compared the USA to a drunk man defending his sister's honor in a barroom brawl.  It goes a little something like this...

My Mom and I had yet another of our post-show arguments about Bush that oddly enough came about as a result of an episode of Medium.  We'd gotten on the subject of Bush's involvement in the Middle Eastern countries now that the Democrats have taken over the reigns, so to speak.  This lovely analogy from yours truly: 

Me: So you got two guys fighting over this blond chick, not able to decide whether she looks better with or without the beer goggles.  One throws a punch, and the other throws a punch, and then there's the guys up front turning their attention from the football to the fighting men and chanting, "FIGHT! FIGHT!  FIGHT!"  Then you got this other guy that comes up staggering and slurring his words, "Hey, now you just wait one minute there missstterrr.  Thasss my sister yer talkin' about."  Then he stumbles back and knocks over some guys beer, and that guy stands up dripping bear off his new Oilers t-shirt and he throws a punch at the guy next to him who was just minding his own business and mumbling something about how he can't believe he forgot to carry the two and then next thing you know he's jumping up and yelling out, "Damnit Jim, I'm an accountant not a magician!" and he's swinging punches too.  Then next thing you know you got this all out brawl.
Mom: ...
Me: *nods sagely* Yup, I'm tellin' ya'.  It's all a conspiracy.
Mom: ::blinks::
Me: *grabs the last chocolate covered cherry and walks off mumbling about evil TV execs*

Yeah.  At least this time I didn't turn it into either a Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Star Trek analogy.

You reminded me of the famous riposte to "my country, right or wrong." Someone said that line was rather like "my mother, drunk or sober."

"Damnit Jim, I'm an accountant not a magician!"

Variations of Bones' lines can work ANYWHERE. Just like "make it so" and "engage." well maybe not so much engage but it is fun to use in the car when driving.
